ABSTRACT:
Three non-amnestic and non-memory enhancing peptides, Asp Phe Phe Val Gly (SEQ ID NO: 1), Gln Phe Val Gly (SEQ ID NO: 2), and Ala Ile Phe Thr (SEQ ID NO: 3), that block the effects of .beta.-(12-28), a peptide homologous to amyloid .beta. protein (A.beta.) are disclosed. This invention relates to amelioration of amnesia and other neurotoxicitiy in Alzheimer disease (AD) caused by deposition of A.beta. and, therefore, relates to attenuation of the disease process and consequential improvement of the quality of life for individuals suffering from AD.
